Valuation-Informed Indexing #529: If Market Timing Works At All, It Works All the Time

I’ve posted Entry #529 to my weekly Valuation-Informed Indexing column at the Value Walk site. It’s called If Market Timing Works At All, It Works All the Time.

Juicy Excerpt: Market timing works all the time. It doesn’t always quickly increase an investor’s returns. But it always gets his or her risk profile back to where it should be. Investors who go with the proper risk profile always end up with enhanced lifetime returns, just as people who eat carbs and sweets in moderation always enjoy healthier lives and just as sober drivers always live longer. The primary goal of investment advisors should be to get their clients so in the habit of engaging in market timing that they don’t even give serious thought to going with Buy-and-Hold strategies.
